When I have my tiller or box scrapper attached and I get tipped to either side just a little bit the attachment starts to rub against the tire on that side and it is tearing up the rubber. This also tends to happen when I am turning around. How do I keep my attachments from beating up my tires?

There should be adjustable anti-sway bars or chains holding the arms from moving over to rub the tires. That or fix the attachments so they are pinned closer to the center.
Post a pic if this doesn't seem like it will work for you.

If you have the mounting pins on the attachment pointing to the outside, reverse them so they point inward, on the inside of the attachment frame. That will gain a few inches clearance for you.

i second tightining sway chains and turing the lift pins on the implement inward.

Pins inward, tires reversed to wider stance, tighten sway chains. nothing else to do....I had to sell a landscape rake that did the same thing, with above mentioned solutions it was still to wide. The pins need to be no greater then 26" apart, if an implement is wider I pass on it and look for another.
OH there is one more thing, you can get Yanmar wheel spacers, if you can find them.

He may be dealing with a model like the 1510 that never came with sway chains since they were originally sold in Japan with a 2 point tiller.
What model do you have? I have a YMG2000D and when you hook up the tiller without using the orginal setup the tires rub. Most of the attachments that I run a standard top link will work fine but there is a link bracket that I have to use to use tiller on tractor. We had a discussion about this top link some time back. I think that the person bought one from one of the dealers who are on this site. I will see if I can't find that link. big dan
My Yanmar is a 2310D, it does have the sway chains that I have tried to shorten (I'll need to play with this some more), I thought about switching the tires because I noticed that the mount point is not in the center of the rim (question: are the bolts on these Left for Loose or are they the opposite?), I hadn't thought about changing the mounting pins. Thanks for all of the help, I'll let you know how it goes.
